When the whole sky is yours, why do you choose to be trapped in the “world wide web”?

Writing Prompt Eight https://creativewritingink.co.uk/writing-prompts/#

Knowledge is wealth,
If ignorance gives
pleasure,
What do you choose?
The choice is up to
you.
You have to be a
strong winged bird 
that sings aloud.

When the whole sky is
yours,
Why do you choose
to be trapped in the
"world wide web"?
Never forget that life
is an adventure.

Today’s youth live in 
an altered idea of
social life, 
created with the help
of social media which
seems to be a real
parallel universe.

Social media gives you 
a fun way 
to see the perfect,
bright life and to
interact with
your peers instead of
seeing them in person.

It gives youth a place
to express 
themselves in a way
that a public place
wouldn’t allow us to.

Before technology, 
young people were
exploring the 
outside world in the
midst of nature 
with their
parents and friends.

The next generation 
who spends 
most of their time on 
social media 
have no idea of what
they’re missing.

By chasing validation 
by strangers, 
which is a waste of
time, money and energy
in the name of
creativity.

Don't follow fake
people 
who can't face reality 
which affects your
mental health.

Social media should be
the reason to bring the
world closer.
